El Preferido Taco Shop (Best Tacos) - Mexican restaurant in Santa Paula - 654 W Harvard Blvd, USA

My new favorite place… the gentleman working at the counter, greeted us and was exceptionally friendly. He informed us that he would carry our food out to us after we placed our order. My husband’s coworker recommended this mom and pop place. My husband knows that I love cheese, enchiladas, and corn burritos. His coworker recommended the corn burritos. I ordered the enchilada platter. The enchiladas did not disappoint. The enchiladas were stuffed with cheese with a side of refried beans and rice. My husband ordered himself three tacos (lengua, pastor, buche). He enjoyed the tacos. We ordered an order of five corn burritos. They were perfectly crispy on the outside with melted cheese on the top… the corn burrito sauce came on the side. I like that they serve the corn burrito sauce on the side so that way by the time you receive the corn burritos, they are not soggy. They were not chintzy on the cheese or beans inside. We will definitely be back. Thank you for the awesome service and delicious food.

Great, authentic place with the loveliest owners and guacamole to die for!

Best street tacos. I drive the backroads over Balcomb Canyon to get here from Camarillo. This place is always a road stop when we go out on nature excursions & road trips. Fast service, nice outdoor seating. And their carnitas tacos are some of the best I've had anywhere.

Yummy, yummy corn burritos! Loved the Peruvian white beans inside and the delicately fried tortillas on the outside! The salsas were good. I liked the green with a touch of red. Service was slow, but it was okay. It was a corn burrito day. 😊 Nice, friendly owner trying to please and succeeding. Good staff, too. Outside tables under a shade cover.

Different owners. Had a pastor taco .tuff meat no marinate or sauce dry. Was not pastor. Dirty tables no salsa bar. Very different Quality

Recommend to dine take-out or outside during the day. Sweltering inside. Food was mediocre. Meat could have been seasoned or crisped up a bit. If you have had a few beers this would suffice. Seems like a good time on their event nights on the small porch.

Traditional mom and pop place. solid Mexican food. not a bad place to visit if your buying time if you next door at Rauls smog shop.

Great food, really nice family run dive restaurant, don't miss this wonderful place. The Green chili tequito plate it's killer.
